Part of what keeps MTG one of the best card games is its strong competitive scene and the balancing of its formats is a vital element of that. Straight-to-Modern sets like Modern Horizons 3 are created with the aim of introducing powerful, versatile cards to Modern without disrupting the Standard metagame. 

Previews have just begun and we’ve already seen plenty of exciting new additions and valuable reprints that are set to be included in the release. So, now is the perfect time to roundup everything we know about MTG Modern Horizons 3 including its release date, products, new mechanics, and more.

MTG Modern Horizons 3 release date

Debut and previews begin: May 21
Card image gallery and previews complete: May 31
MTG Arena launch: June 11
Global tabletop launch: June 14

Debuts and previews for MTG Modern Horizons have already started and will continue until the end of May. Two weeks after previews complete, we’ll see the full release of the Modern Horizons 3 set including the Modern Horizons 3 Commander decks. 

MTG Modern Horizons 3 products

• Commander decks 
• Collector boosters
• Play boosters

While Modern Horizons 3 is a primarily booster-focused product line, it does have a set of Commander decks releasing alongside it. As usual, you can pick up cards from this set in Collector Boosters or Play Boosters, both of which are available as singular packs or as part of a box or bundle. 

Commander Decks

Despite the Modern Horizons name, these Commander decks are not Modern-legal. Like the Commander decks that have been released alongside Standard-legal sets, these pre-cons are meant to be played and enjoyed in the ever-popular casual format of Commander. 

As with most Commander releases, Modern Horizons 3 has four pre-con decks available to purchase. However, you can also pick up Collector’s Editions of each one too. These Collector’s Editions have a special Ripple Foil treatment on all 100 cards and each deck has a Borderless Profile of two Legendary Creature cards. Not to mention, they also have really, really pretty box art. 

Collector Boosters

If you’re on the hunt for shiny foils and special alternate arts, Collector Boosters are for you. Each Collector Booster has 15 cards in it with 10-12 Traditional Foils as well as a chance to draw an Etched Foil, Textured Foil, or even a serialized card. Collector Boosters can be picked up as a single or as part of a box of 12 (180 cards total).

Play Boosters

Play Boosters are primed for use in Draft. Each Play Booster contains 14 cards, 1-5 of which are of Rare or higher rarity and 1-2 of which are Traditional Foil cards. Play Boosters come in single packs, boxes of 36 Boosters (504 total cards), or in bundles. 

MTG Modern Horizons 3 story

We haven’t yet received full confirmation of Modern Horizons 3’s place within the Magic Story, if any. However, the return of the Eldrazi titans Emrakul, Ulamog and Kozilek does imply some continuation from the Zendikar storylines. Although whether or not their return in Modern Horizons 3 has larger canonical implications is yet to be seen. 

MTG Modern Horizons 3 mechanics

All in all, there are 40 returning mechanics coming to the Modern Horizons 3 set. Depending on your history with the game, these will probably elicit reactions ranging from “nice, they’re finally bringing that back” to “wait, what does that one even do?” Thankfully, cards in the set will likely have helpful reminder text to

If you’re keen to do a bit of research in advance though, the other abilities and actions included in Modern Horizons 3 are: Adapt, Annihilator, Affinity, Afterlife, Ascend, Bestow, Collect Evidence, Connive, Cycling, Devoid, Devotion, Dredge, Emerge, Energy, Entwine, Escalate, Eternalize, Evoke, Evolve, Extort, Fabricate, Flashback, Kicker, Kindred, Living Weapon, Madness, Mentor, Modified, Morbid, Outlast, Overload, Proliferate, Prototype, Flashback, Reconfigure, Reinforce, Shield Counters, Spelunking, Storm, Support, Umbra Armor, and Unearth.

MTG Modern Horizons 3 spoilers

We’ll see plenty of developments in MTG Modern Horizons 3 spoilers, particularly this month while we’re receiving a continuous influx of preview cards. For now, these are all the cards we’ve gotten a look at.

Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 is not available on PS5

Hellblade 2 is not available on PS5 right now. The only platforms you can play Hellblade 2 on are Xbox Series X and PC via the Windows Store and Steam. If you've got PC or Xbox Game Pass, you can play it as part of your subscription too. The game is an Xbox console-exclusive because developer Ninja Theory is owned by Microsoft, having been acquired less than a year after the PS4 console-exclusive launch of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice.

No plans to bring Hellblade 2 to other platforms have been announced, although given that several Xbox Games Studios titles have launched on PS5 over the last few months (Sea of Thieves, HiFi Rush, and more), it's entirely possible that Hellblade 2 could see a wider platform release, though probably not for at least a year. Speaking on the change in Xbox's strategy in February, 2024, Phil Spencer said that some of the recent games that went to PS5 were "smaller games that were never really meant to be built as platform exclusives with all the fanfare that goes around that, but games that our teams really wanted to build."

The short Hellblade 2 length means it certainly is a smaller game from a small, niche team, so it does somewhat fit the bill here. The game is already selling well on Steam at the time of writing, so it could be a prime candidate for porting to Sony and even Nintendo's platforms in time, though – again – nothing official has been said and it almost certainly won't happen for a while, if at all.

Where is the Shifting City dungeon in Diablo 4?

As you can see on the map above, the Diablo 4 Shifting City dungeon can be found on the south side of the Dry Steppes region, within the Qara-Yisu area which is directly north of Zarbinzet in Hawezar. However, it won't appear there immediately, as you first need to enter that area from the southwest and clear The Ruins of Qara-Yisu stronghold. This involves destroying three Infernal Spires, before heading to the mine area and slaying Utulku, The Voice Below boss, then rekindling the Wanderer's Shrine to conquer Qara-Yisu. You'll now see the dungeon icon for Shifting City at the north end of this area.

Diablo 4 Shifting City walkthrough

After entering the Diablo 4 Shifting City dungeon, your first objective is to find the two Ancients Statues and return them to the Pedestals. The first statue is on the ground near the entrance, so grab that and take it with you then fight through the monsters until you reach the central area with the Pedestals. Note that you can only carry one statue at a time, so deposit that on one of the Pedestals then continue east via either route until you find the other Ancients Statue at the far end of the dungeon. Bring that back and place it on the other Pedestal to unseal the door so you can move on.

In the next area, you need to collect Animus from Animus Carriers by slaying Elite enemies and the walking through the glowing orbs they drop. Once you've filled up the objective bar, head to the north end of this area and interact with the Animus Urn to deposit Animus and unseal the door to the dungeon boss.

The Tomb Lord is the final boss in the Shifting City dungeon, though they're not too difficult to defeat as long as you keep moving to avoid their AoE attacks. The other thing to watch out for is the Bone Wall they summon around you, as this can explode and deal significant damage if you're close, so either blast your way out or use an ability that quickly switches your position. Once defeated, you can get your rewards then teleport out of the dungeon to continue your adventure.

1. When in doubt, push the left stick forward

This is a seriously basic tip, but with the seamless transitions between cutscenes and gameplay in Hellblade 2, it's sometimes hard to tell when you're in control of Senua. It's good to hold the left stick forward, especially if she's climbing or crawling through something, as these moments sometimes seem like cutscenes and the game gives you no button hints at any point. Obstacles can also get in your way which you'll need to press A to move and get past which the game also doesn't clarify.

2. Look for rocks and objects with white markings

Rock formations that you can climb or squeeze through are usually marked with white paint, helping you find possible routes to reach collectible or puzzle areas or ways out of areas to continue through the game.

3. Don't forget to use Focus

Using Senua's "Focus" by pressing and holding RT or LT is necessary to solving every puzzle in the game as it has different contextual uses. For rune puzzles, you need to use to activate a rune once you've recreated the shape, as in the very first Hellblade 2 rune puzzle. Later, you'll face puzzles involving bubbles that act as switches which are also activated using Focus.

Not too far into the game, Senua will also unlock the ability to use Focus in combat. Once her mirror is charged and glowing, press RT or LT to briefly slow time and increase Senua's attack speed, letting her batter an enemy with a flurry of blows to get an easy kill.

4. Listen to the voices during puzzles

Listening to voices in your head is bad advice in all cases except for when playing Hellblade 2. Senua's inner voices sometimes offer minor hints for puzzles, which is about as much help as you get throughout the time it takes to beat Hellblade 2, so it's important to take what you can get. Listen out for phrases like, "Focus, Senua", and, "find the right perspective", to help you understand what you need to be doing.

5. Dodging attacks is much easier than parrying

During combat, Senua can block attacks by holding RB or even parry, but the timing is pretty strict from my experience. I found dodging attacks by pressing A as the enemy's weapon is about to hit Senua to be much easier to execute, and dodging a string of attacks leaves your enemy open to attack as they recover. Furthermore, especially powerful attacks from enemies that have a faint red glow are unblockable, so must be dodged anyway.

6. Heavy attacks are good for breaking through enemy defense

Senua delivers a slow but powerful strike when pressing Y. These heavy attacks are very useful for breaking the guards of enemies that are capable of blocking or use shields, leaving them open to more attacks. However, heavy attacks need to be timed well as they leave Senua highly vulnerable to attacks from foes. Use them after a string of quick attacks or after the enemy has just finished their attack pattern.

7. You have a chance to resist death in combat

Taking too much of a beating leads to Senua getting knocked down in combat, which can sometimes lead to an immediate black screen, meaning you died, or a moment where the enemy prepares a final killing blow. When the latter happens, time will slow down, giving you a chance to mash any button or activate Focus. Senua will dodge the attack at the last second and get back up, letting you carry on the fight.

8. Explore areas for collectibles

Achievement hunters should go off the beaten track as you walk through Icelandic landscapes to find lore totems and faces in the rocks which lead to magic trees. These collectibles are purely there to flesh out the Norse world of Hellblade 2 and reward some gamerscore for finding them all, so skipping them means you don't miss out on any gameplay benefits. If you do want to go back and get them, you can use the chapter and checkpoint selection options on the game's main menu to save you replaying the whole game.

How to start the Pinch of Poison side quest in Diablo 4

To start the Pinch of Poison side quest in Diablo 4, you need to head to Gea Kul in the southwest corner of Kehjistan and then speak to Baraim, proprietor of the Watering Hole establishment on the north side of town. From my experience, this side quest will not appear until you are Level 40+, so if you haven't reached that level yet and can't find the quest marker at the above location then make some more progress elsewhere before returning. Once you can speak to Baraim, he'll ask you to source some Scorpion Venom Glands in return for a reward.

Diablo 4 Pinch of Poison walkthrough

Once you've begun the Diablo 4 Pinch of Poison side quest, a section of Kehjistan within the Amber Sands area will be highlighted for collecting Scorpion Venom Glands, and you can use Diablo 4 fast travel to jump to the nearby Iron Wolves Encampment waypoint to speed up your journey there. However, as soon as you enter this area you'll see red enemy markers appear on your map highlighting where you can find the Scorpions you need to kill, which are all over the area and not just confined to the marked section.

Wherever you decide to fight the Scorpions, watch out for the Scorpion Venom Glands quest items that drop from them, which you'll need to pick up manually as they aren't automatically collected. They'll be marked by the blue quest diamond on your map, so you should be able to quickly see if there are any nearby to grab. Once you've acquired 15 Scorpion Venom Glands, you'll be instructed to return to Baraim to complete the side quest.

Diablo 4 Pinch of Poison rewards

After turning in the completed side quest to Baraim in Gea Kul, you'll receive your rewards including 30 Kehjistan Renown plus XP and gold. More importantly, you'll also receive a Curative Cache containing five Elixir of Poison Resistance once opened, and the crafting recipe for Elixir of Antivenin. Learn this recipe by selecting it in your inventory then visit an Alchemist and you can craft an Elixir of Antivenin in the Quest Elixir section of their menu with the following materials:

• 50 Bundled Herbs
• 35 Angelbreath
• 150 Emerald Fragment
• 150 Skull Fragment
• 1,000 gold

Once consumed, the Elixir of Antivenin provides the following effects for the following 30 minutes:

• Maximum Life increased by 15%
• Poison Resist increased by 20%
• Experience gained increased by 8%

Not only do these effects greatly help you in areas where you're exposed to a significant amount of poisoning, but the 8% increase to experience gained is one of the highest boosts available through elixirs, meaning it can be used to help you level up fast in Diablo 4 if you consume it before entering combat-heavy areas such as dungeons or the Diablo 4 Helltide.

Hellblade 2 rune puzzle solution

To solve the first puzzle in Hellblade 2, you need to line up some objects floating around the area to recreate the rune symbol on the barrier blocking your path, then hold RT to focus on the rune.

If you're facing the barrier, turn around and you should see a large boulder in the middle of the clearing. Head over to the far side of the boulder, look back at the barrier, and then move Senua around to line up the red bits of floating debris above the boulder to recreate the shape of the rune. The rune itself should appear in white on your screen when you're close to lining it all up.

Once Senua is standing in roughly the right spot, press and hold RT – the Focus button for Hellblade 2 – to activate the rune and lower the barrier, letting you squeeze through the rock gap and carry on your trek across Iceland. These perspective puzzles appear several times during Hellblade 2, so you can apply the same method here to any of the others. Although, the most important thing to remember is the Focus button as it's used in all puzzles, for every collectible, and even in combat, so don't forget to use it throughout Senua's journey.

How to complete Best of Three in Fallout 4

Best of Three in Fallout 4 can be started simply by listening to the Vault-Tec distress signal which is in the radio section of your Pip-Boy. As soon as do you that it will update the objective to Investigate the Distress Signal Coordinates. This will drop a marker way down in the bottom left corner of the map, in the Glowing Sea region. This is generally not a good place to be, with a level 48+ scaling. So, if you're nowhere near that yet you might want to wait. 

Even if you are happy taking on the Glowing Sea, make sure you have plenty of RadAway and Rad-X to deal with the radiation. And take all your best gear, making sure it's all in good condition. While the rest of this mission is basically tracking down objectives markers, even the most basic enemies will be a high level. 

When you reach the first marker you'll find the body of a Vault 95 Gunner. The Gunner Holotape you can loot from them is what you need here. Once you've read that you'll see a new option to Download Pip-Boy data from the body so press the relevant button and read the only uncorrupted option to get a new objective marker. This will take you even deeper into the Glowing Sea, so now is the time to pop some Rad-X and get ready to glow. 

When you reach the marker you'll find the partially buried Hopesmarch Pentecostal Church. The only way in is through the roof, however: it's full of feral ghouls so it's worth stopping at the hole and taking out as many enemies as you can before going in. You can drop the hole, just be aware that the drop from the top to bottom can kill you if you're not at full health, so it's safer to jump in through to the steeple and take the spiral staircase down. 

Once everything except you is dead you'll find another body by the podium on the stage. Again you'll see an option to Download Pip-Boy Data, so do that to get another map marker to chase. It's close to the church so find your way out to continue. 

It's only a short way to the next marker, a radio tower with - surprise! - another body to download Pip-Boy data from. So do that and be ready for an attack of Bloatflies that burst out of the body. Once they're all gone you'll be able to tune into the Gunner Signal Remnant on your Pip-Boy radio. This will give you a signal strength you can follow. It'll go up when you're heading in the right direction and down when you're not, so keep moving and judging what it does. As soon as you see a crashed plane, head for it as that's where you're going. 

The plane is Skylanes Flight 1665. Once there look for a short piece of the body open at both ends and full of red seats, a little way away from the main winged section. In there you'll find another body. Again you can download their Pip-Boy data but this time when you do you'll be attacked by a character named Caroni. All you have to do now is kill them to finish Best of Three.

Once Caroni is dead you can take the Tesla Cannon they were using against you and have some fun with it. Despite looking like an electric bazooka, it's basically a powerful electric rifle that uses fusion cells for ammo that reload instantly, meaning you can fry everything in your way without having to stop.

Hellblade 2 length

The time it'll take you to beat Hellblade 2 will vary based on your playstyle, so here are some estimated completion times for different players:

•  Quick: 5-6 hours
• Average: 6-8 hours
• 100% completionist: 8-12 hours

If you solve the puzzles quickly, get through the combat sequences without issue, and don't deviate from the main path at all, Hellblade 2 is a short and sweet experience, clocking in at roughly six hours or even a little less. However, most players (just as we did for the GamesRadar+ Hellblade 2 review) will typically spend more in the region of seven or eight hours playing, especially if you spend time trying to find hidden paths that may lead to collectibles, such as the rune totems. The whole game took me just under eight hours to complete, which included a fair bit of backtracking and searching around to ensure I had everything possible.

If you're looking to get all the achievements, you'll need to find all the runes and rock faces which will add a fair bit to the length of your Senua's Sacrifice Hellblade 2 playthrough. However, any collectibles you miss can be easily collected through chapter selection and even checkpoint selection, saving you having to replay the whole game to find everything.

How to get Profane Mindcage in Diablo 4

If you want to get Profane Mindcage in Diablo 4, then the first thing you need to do is switch to World Tier 3 or 4 as this elixir will only drop on those higher levels. With that done, you can jump into an available Diablo 4 Helltide event and start slaying enemies to fill up your Threat meter. While it's possible that this item may randomly drop from a fallen Helltide enemy, once you've reached the maximum Threat level and been Hell-Marked, the Hellborn that spawns is guaranteed to drop a Profane Mindcage elixir when defeated, so you don't need to rely on luck... other than for beating that tough boss in the first place.

What does Diablo 4 Profane Mindcage do?

The Diablo 4 Profane Mindcage is an elixir that, when consumed, will increase the drop rate for Aberrant Cinders and raise the level of monsters by 10 during Helltide events, with this effect lasting for 60 minutes. As well as improving your loot drops and XP earned during that time, this is particularly useful if you're trying to get Diablo 4 Wolf's Honor fast, as the increased drop rate for Aberrant Cinders means you can open more Mystery Chests during the event and collect additional Honor in the process.

How to earn Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4

There is currently only one way to earn Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4, and that's by taking part in the various Diablo 4 Helltide events that are occurring all over Sanctuary, marked by a red hue on the map when they're active. During these events, you'll earn one Wolf's Honor for killing certain monsters, while eliminating Elites can give you five or ten Wolf's Honor and defeating the Hellborn that spawn when you max out your Threat level will net 35 Wolf's Honor. However, the fastest way to earn Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4 is by opening Mystery Chests, as these award 100 Wolf's Honor each. These can be found by opening the map, then finding the chest icons with question marks above them.

On the first couple of World Tiers these will appear as a Tortured Gift of Mysteries, and opening each costs 100 of the Aberrant Cinders you earn by slaying enemies in the Helltide. On World Tier 3 and 4 there are several types of Mystery Chests that spawn and reward varying amounts of Wolf's Honor when opened rather than the fixed 100, so I recommend opening those with a higher Aberrant Cinders cost. Using the Baneful Hearts you collect to summon Blood Maidens will speed up your collection of Aberrant Cinders to open chests, and if you defeat a Hellborn on World Tier 3 or 4 then the Diablo 4 Profane Mindcage elixir it drops can be used to increase the rate of Aberrant Cinder drops for the next 60 minutes, at the cost of raising the level of the enemies you face.

You can also speed up the rate at which you earn Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4 though the Season Blessings, if you allocate the Smouldering Ashes you unlock through Season progress to the Urn of Iron. Each Urn of Iron level provides a 5% reputation boost with the Iron Wolves from Helltide activities, which can be stacked to a maximum of a +20% boost at Level 4.

Rewards unlocked with Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4

The Iron Wolves Encampment is in the Kehjistan region, to the northeast of Gea Kul and just west of the Imperial Library. There should already be a portal active there, so you can use Diablo 4 fast travel to quickly arrive from any location across Sanctuary. Once in the Encampment, find the Iron Wolf Field Commander Soudeh the Anvil and speak to them before choosing the "Show me how I have fared against Hell" dialogue option. This will show your current Wolf's Honor Rank and progress towards the next one, and if you move down to the section below you can claim any rewards that you've unlocked already with Wolf's Honor in Diablo 4. These are split across 18 ranks as follows:

1. Iron Wolves' Weapon
2. Captain's Gloves
3. Iron Wolves' Messenger Gear
4. Traces of the Maiden
5. Natural Motion
6. The Iron Wolves' Most Dependable
7. Glimmering Herb Supply
8. Iron Wolves' Armory
9. Iron Wolves Vanity Chest
10. Natural Motion
11. Iron Wolves' Heroic Spoils
12. Putrid Soul Collection
13. Cages of Hubris
14. Iron Wolves' Herbalist Hoard
15. Natural Motion
16. Iron Wolves' Final Harvest
17. Unspeakable Goods
18. Highest Honors of the Iron Wolves

Some of these rewards are caches, that will drop Legendary Weapons and Armor relevant to your class when you open them, while others provide manuals to unlock recipes for new Tempering upgrades. While redeeming them you'll also receive resource items and elixirs that can be used to give you a boost during the Helltide, so make sure you check out their effects and use them when you're battling the monsters of Hell.
